loadti sometimes works fine, but occasionally hangs

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: RM48L950

From CCS5.3 I can successfully download and run on my target, but I need to automate this from a batch file and so I am using loadti to download and execute on my target (in this case an RM48L950). Most of the time, the download works fine and the program runs:

set PATH=%PATH%;"c:\ti\ccsv5\ccs_base\scripting\examples\loadti\";
call loadti -v -n -r -c C:\LDRA\LDRA_Demos\TICCS50_Workspace\TICCS50_RM48L950_Dice\target.ccxml -n C:\LDRA\LDRA_Demos\TICCS50_Workspace\TICCS50_RM48L950_Dice\LDRA\TICCS50_RM48L950_Dice.out

But sometimes it just hangs. I switched on the -v option and when it hangs it is doing the following:

...

reset: Target reset
getBoolean: ENTRY
getBoolean: RETURN false
reset: RETURN
testEnv.outFiles: C:\LDRA\LDRA_Demos\TICCS50_Workspace\TICCS50_RM48L950_Dice\LDRA\TICCS50_RM48L950_Dice.out

waitUntil: RETURN
load: Program load successful
getBoolean: ENTRY
getBoolean: RETURN true
waitForHaltIfPropertySet: Waiting for halt
waitUntil: ENTRY timeout: infinite
==>  ( just hangs here )

Any idea what I can do to resolve this?

Thanks

Mark

    Hi Mark,

    Are you using BIOS?

    Thanks

    no I am not, this is a simple program without an OS

    hmm. ok. There are a lot of RTDX diagnostic messages in there, I was wondering if you had RTDX support enabled in the BIOS config file.

    What is interesting is that you occasionally see this occur via loadti only. Loadti would be calling the same debug server as the CCS GUI.

    In any case the place where it hangs:

    What is happening is that the option to auto-run to label is enabled and it is waiting until that label is reached. By default it is main. I assume you have this label in your program since it works most of the time. So for the few times it is not, there must be something with the state of the target where main is not being reached. The question is why
